“And they continued steadfastly in... breaking of bread, ... (Acts 2:42).”
The Acts of the Apostles tells us that the Church began by meeting daily in the Jewish temple for worship. There was one aspect of their service, however, that was so distinct that they had to reconvene at believers' homes every evening; an act of worship that, ultimately, completely separated them from Judaism. This distinctly Christian practice was the Lord’s Supper.
Acts 2:46-47 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, Praising God, and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
In the beginning, the Lord’s Supper was the Church’s reason for meeting from house to house in the evenings.
After Stephen’s martyrdom in Acts 7, Christians broke away from assembling to worship God in the Jewish temple. Soon thereafter we find that the Lord’s Supper had found its permanent home in the meeting of the Church on the First day of the week (I Corinthians 11:20-21). In fact, Communion was their primary reason for assembling every Sunday.
Acts 20:7 And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them…
Because Communion was the centerpiece of Christian worship in the 1st century, we at Acadia Apostolic Assembly believe it should be the centerpiece of his church in the 21st century.
Acadia Apostolic Assembly invites you to join us for our daily services from “Oikos to Oikos (or house to house)” or to celebrate with us in our corporate worship services on Sundays.
